[Seagate 7200.12: any issues?]

Hi,

I have a CC37 firmware & have bought it just 7 months back. & all of a sudden it gives me a smart error & before i could backup my data it just died off. It does not show up in the bios anymore. i tried the fix mentioned at : http://forums.seagate.com/t5/Desktop-ATA-and-Serial-ATA/SOLUTION-FOR-7200-11-SERIES-MAXTOR-SEAGATE-B..., i can do a spin down & spin up with no errors, but when i send the F3 1>N1 command or F3 T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22 it starts throwing up the error: Failed to load overlay 00000005 LED:000000CC FAddr:00289581& keeps repeating the same thing. Kindly let me me know if there is a way to fix my HDD. I need the data inside it. PLEASE HELP...
